Ok, friend. You have to make these. They are one of my kids' most popular requests for lunch boxes...and I saved them for the end of our 31 Days of School Lunchbox Ideas. I sent them on their first day of school this week. I had stashed a few in the very back of the freezer, so they would actually make it to the first day of school. I dropped 2 into each lunch box and sent them … [Read more...]
Corndog Muffins
Want something for your kiddos lunchbox that they'll (probably) gobble up?! While we don't eat that many hot dogs, when we do I prefer to buy the Applegate uncured variety because its a healthier version, but somewhat more expensive! Thankfully my store has a BTS coupon right now, so I've been able to get a few extra packages for the freezer...so I can make more of these in … [Read more...]

Sweet Potato & Chicken Curry
More chicken curry meals in the slow cooker. This meal is actually a regular part of our family rotation. The list of meals that we have repeatedly is very short, given that we are always trying new recipes for the website. But this one has been on the list for a few years and will remain. Mainly because everyone at the table polishes their plate. It's rare for that to happen … [Read more...]
Peaches & Cream Baked Oatmeal
Please. I beg of you. Stop what you are doing right now and run to the store to buy some ripe peaches. They must be ripe, slightly soft to the touch with a bit of give when you gently squeeze it. Buy a bunch of them. And then make this. And then come back and thank me. (Kidding! Sorta!) This stuff is like the flavor packets you get at the store...except it … [Read more...]

Blue. BOOM. I plan on making these again in a few weeks when we celebrate our Independence Day here in the US. Hope you enjoy! What are your … [Read more...]
Cumin Pork Roast with Black Beans
I have a kid who doesn't like beans. He'll eat a few bites, but with hesitation! The other three kiddos have no issues with beans...in fact, last night the baby (toddler, really!) had beans and bean juice all over him. It was on his chin, his chest, his arms, his legs. He had a bib on, but he really needed a 'body bib.' When we eat spaghetti, I generally remove all of his … [Read more...]
